Flash Player For Mac 10.6.8
Although this is touched on briefly in other posts, I would like some report from those who were brave enough to do the update, and what were their experiences. Typically Adobe has conflicting information depending on where you look, and it was someone on another thread that actually pointed me to a statement that the update is supposed to apply for 10.5.8 and the latest Safari update, and pointed me to the proper update link. Elsewhere it seems like Leopard was left out altogether in the system requirements.
Based on my experience with Adobe on both Windows and Mac platforms, I am extremely reluctant to proceed as more often than not things don't work, and one has great difficulty in backtracking. In as much as Flash works perfectly now, security issue notwithstanding, I have to decide which is the larger threat: the security hole, or Adobe's wretched installation processes.
Comments most welcome.
